Subject: UPDATE: QUEERS FOR RECONCILIATION
Queers for Reconciliation had a very sucessful entry in the February 28
21st Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade.
Nearly 400 people took part in the float, one of the largest in the
parade. We received a standing ovation from the Bobby Goldsmith viewing
stands, and were a huge success, despite poor coverage in the telecast
of the parade.
There were large numbers of Aboriginal people involved, some of whom had
travelled from as far away as Queensland and Tasmania. There was a large
contingent from Melbourne, who brought their own banner. There was also
a group from Canberra.
The full story with photos of the Queers for Reconciliation float in the
1998 Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade has been posted on our
